Question for you GFYers - GoFuckYourself.com

You are paying X for a web host per month. They want to increase your price by about 500%. They only give you 7 (SEVEN) days to find a new host and move all of your stuff before the new price is charged to your CC.

Do you find this acceptable customer service?

Theo · 04-26-2011, 08:16 PM

Not at all, let alone I never heard before a hosting co. increasing their prices.

Cyber Fucker · 04-26-2011, 09:23 PM

Must be some really shady one. Not acceptable.

taken300 · 05-23-2011, 01:26 PM

Never!!!

malcarada · 05-23-2011, 05:37 PM

They will increase your prices if you signed up for the account using a special promotion code, otherwise it is not likely fees will go up so much.

CyberHustler · 05-23-2011, 05:40 PM

What host are we speaking about here?

Scott-ISMC · 05-23-2011, 06:07 PM

totally not customer service imo.

Who is it? please post the name so we can avoid them.

I had a shared plan with fatcow until recently for my starter sites. 1st year was only $50 which isn't bad for an unlimited shared hosting, this year they wanted $110 so I killed the account. Over 2Xs the price for a worse service, they have been fucking the user panel up to no end.

I'd move, unless you were getting a special deal for the 1st year or something.

Your new host can help you move everything over.

What?! Totally unacceptable!

There has to be more to this story. What was the justification they gave for a 500% rate hike?

Truth be told, I would think you would want to leave immediately, if not sooner if they did not have a legit reason for the price hike.
